At the opening of Book I of the Aeneid Juno causes a storm to hinder the Trojan fleet as it sails toward Italy.

The storm forces seven of the ships to take shelter on the north African coast.

As the Trojans move off the beach they discover that they are near the recently established city of Carthage. The Queen of Carthage - Dido - welcomes the refugees.
